How do I suppress a footer on certain pages within a document?
You are using an out of date browser. It may not display this or other websites correctly.
You should upgrade or use an alternative browser.

There are a couple of different techniques.
Usually the best way is to place section breaks before and after the part(s)
that shouldn't have page numbers. With the cursor in the footer of the
section to be suppressed, first click the "Same As Previous" button on the
Header/Footer toolbar to turn it off; then select and delete any text in the
footer.
A special case is when the page whose footer is to be suppressed is the
first one in the section. In the File > Page Setup dialog, on the Layout
tab, check the box for Different First Page. That creates a separate First
Page Footer that you can change or delete.
Another way is to use an IF field in the footer. For example, if you want to
suppress the footer on all pages up to page 4, you could use a field like
{ IF { Page } > 4 "This is the footer text" }
This wouldn't display anything on pages 1 thorugh 4, and would display the
quoted text after that. There are variations on this, for example to display
a footer only on the last page of the document.

more background.

No, you do not need to use section breaks. That is one method, but seldom
the best one. I wouldn't interject a section break unless there was another
reason to do so. Take a look at
